Only pet owners understand the feeling of losing someone they have cherished as if they were their own kids. At this moment, Russell and Ciara Wilson fully understand what it feels like.

Numerous celebrities, such as La La Anthony, have stepped up to express their condolences after he announced the Great Dane’s death on his social media.
